4055538492 Genuine Cooktop Top Plate for Electrolux Group Gas Cooktops, Gas Hob Surface Panel Replacement Part

Part 4055538492 is the genuine Electrolux top plate for a gas cooktop. The top plate is the main surface panel of the hob, with openings for the burners. It is the part to order when the surface is badly dented, cracked, chipped or stained beyond cleaning. Top plates are specific to each cooktop layout, so match 4055538492 to the number in your parts list before ordering.

When a cooktop top plate needs replacing

The top plate takes heat, spills, heavy pans and scrubbing every day. Enamel can chip and rust, stainless steel can warp or scorch, and glass tops can crack after a knock or a sudden temperature change. Damage around the burner openings is more than cosmetic, as it can stop burners seating properly and affect the flame. A cracked glass top should not be used. Replacing the plate is also a chance to check the seals underneath, which stop spills reaching the gas and electrical parts.

Replacing the top plate

Turn off the gas at the isolation valve and the power at the wall. Removing a top plate means lifting off the trivets, burners and knobs, and often loosening the burner bodies and the gas taps' fixings, so this is best left to a licensed gas fitter. Ask them to leak test and check that every burner lights properly afterwards.
